Dive Sites: Zonqor Point

Logo
Depth
6-25 meters
Sea Bed
Close to shore it is mostly rocky with Posedonia, but further out it is sandy.
Interests
The recently scuttled St Michael and Number 10 tugboats in the Marsascala inlet.
Speciality
Reef/Wreck Divers
Dangers
Since the inlet is used by a large number of small and large boats, one should be careful when surfacing away from shore. An SMB should be used at all times.
Visibility
Quite Good
Navigation
Once in the water, the shoreline makes an interesting reef to explore. However, in order to reach the tugboat wrecks, you will need to take a transit from the small building at the head of Zonqor Point to a point that lies halfway between the Jerma Palace Hotel on the opposite shore and the very tip of the cost. Once you decide the bearing and proceed with the dive underwater, the wrecks should be in sight by the time the rocks and posedonia give way to a sandy seabed. If not, turn either left or right to hopefully encounter one or both wrecks.
Entry/Exit Points
Giant stride entry or slide entry from shore. Exit by climbing shore.
Shore/boat/long swim
Shore dive.
